Lucky Man Origin

My cousin, Dennis Brent, came up with this clever vanity plate down in California. To the casual observer, it may not register, but look closer. It’s yet another example of ingenuity by squeezing a longer thought into the maximum number of letters/numerals. I freely admit to stealing the idea and restoring the spelling.

Cousin Dennis acknowledges he’s a lucky man too.

As you can see by this picture, Dennis does, indeed, consider himself a lucky man. So do I. Lucky to have been born in America. Lucky to have grown up in a loving and caring family. Lucky to have enjoyed relatively good health. Lucky to have survived my younger years! But perhaps the luckiest part of my life has been to have found a career in an area so diverse and rewarding as commercial aviation. At times, I couldn’t believe my employer was paying me to do what I loved so much.

So there you have it: the origin of “Oh, Lucky Man!”

Breaking news! I just finished co-editing a new book with Jeff Kriendler. It is available on-line at www.twamemorybook.com
